Fort Lauderdale 22 March, 2014

If Friday is the day to visit West Palm Beach, Saturday is the day to visit Fort Lauderdale. Satuday is cruise ship turnaround day at the port, generating large numbers of extra flights from Canada. The airport was a quick journey on the hotel shuttle, and I soon found myself at the purpose built viewing area on top of the Hibiscus car park.

I didn't have long to wait before C-GQWS departed back to Canada

Not long after 'WS left, C-FTZD arrived. The titles said it was operated by Sunwing, but the livery looked rather familiar to me...

 

During my time in America, I was hoping to enjoy some of the sunshine that Florida is famous for. However, as the clouds thickened, I realised rain was on its way, and by around 1100 the rain was so torrential, it was hard to see what was going on - a Southwest 737 is here somwhere 

The rain only lasted around half an hour, and it had cleared by the time the day's best aircraft, Canadian North 737 C-GCNZ, arrived.

Delta and JetBlue kept the airliner movements ticking along nicely, and I was particularly pleased to see JetBlue's N764JB in its New York Jets livery

A number of aircraft came and went to the Bahamas, including Bahamasair Dash Eight C6-BFD

One of the smaller airliners was N80GB, operated by GB Airways - it is a long time since I last saw a new Skyvan

There were plenty of GA type aircraft to keep the log ticking over, including Caravan N188SF

All in all, despite the weather (not only did it rain, but it was also much colder than it should have been), I had an excellent day, and saw some very interesting aircraft. Here's the full list
